(edit:I changed the thread title because I used the giftcards to buy an Ace Frehley because Guitar Center didn't have any of these Squier guitars below in stock)
I traded in some reward points on a credit card for two $100.00 giftcards,What should I buy?
They have a coupon for 10% off so I could get one of these for around $70

Ignore him, he's trying to elude you into buying one of them fakes... by a Squier instead, not Squire.

Thanks for the suggestions.Those teles look awesome but I already have a tele so I'd like to get a guitar that I don't have.

It's not a wideranger, but a 500k pot and the Fralin mod make it sound pretty fucking good.

Meh, I got it cheap enough that I should at least be able to get my money back selling it on if I don't like it.
**EDIT**
If there's a Sam Ash nearby, they might have one there for you to try. I remember seeing them at the Sam Ash in Phoenix, and in Orlando.

The Jaguar and the Jazzmaster are both on backorder so I ended up getting this. I had 2 other gift cards so it cost $150

What happened to getting a guitar you don't already own?
Those are supposed to be really nice anyway, congrats! I read somewhere it came with DiMarzios from the factory?
